25 of those users have received warnings for irresponsible riding, and seven have had their usage restricted.

It happens while discussions over whether the initiative should go past its six-month trial phase are still ongoing.

While some emphasise its appeal, others worry about safety. There are 50 electric scooters total.

This is the nation's first public sharing program, and recent statistics demonstrate how popular it has become.

1,024 distinct customers have travelled a total of 9,000 km, according to statistics from the operator, Bolt.

Some local leaders have declared the roll-out a success four weeks into the six-month trial term.

As stated by Fianna Fáil Councillor Pip Breen, "They're used continuously, so if you're looking for one, you'd have a job getting one."

Thus, they are successful if they are being utilised, and utilisation is everything. According to Bolt, there are a lot of scooters here and they are heavily used.

"I think if people took a view that we’re not going to explore new modes of transport in the times we’re facing into, we’re a coastal county, and if we don’t want to be knee deep in water in Wexford town, I think we have to explore every mode of transport and that includes e-scooters."

"They are a very safe mode of transport in my opinion, they’re limited to 20km/h. They are card operated … so in my opinion … there’s been no issues with them so far."

"I think they should stay … we have to give everything a try, you can’t just say 'no, no, no’, I’m quite willing to give these a good go and if they work, I’d be happy to roll them out," he said.
